Recently I purchased some Corsair Vengeance RGB 3466Mhz (8x2) to upgraded from my 2400Mhz ones. ever since I have received them and plugged them in the motherboard I have had issues with all my games crashing and sometimes my PC freezing.

CPU-Z says my DRAM frequency is at 1732.9Mhz (which is correct), but my NB frequency is listed at 1732.3MHz. Also, in BIOS it says profile 1 is at 3200MHz while profile 2 is at 3466MHz.

I have currently tried manually setting the timings (16-18-18-36). Also, downgrading my clock speed to 3000MHz. I have tried running one stick or ram, updating bios. switching RAM slots. I have run out of ideas and need y'alls help.

Specs:
Ryzen 2700x non-oc
MSI b450 bazooka
Zotac rtx2070 8gb non-oc
16gb corsair vengeance rgb 3466MHz (8x2)
1t samsung 860 ssd
2 wd 2tb 7200rpm HDD

Something else seems to be going on. Can you reset BIOS to stock everything and test?
Already done. i have had to reset CMOS multiple times. the only thing that seems to be interesting is that the Nb frequency is only 1732MHz, but when I watch videos people using CPU-Z their NB frequency runs at like 3400-4000Mhz. My NZXT CAM program also says my ram is at 50% load at 4gb even though it recognizes there is 16gb.

What if you load up CPU-Z? Do you see 1733Mhz in the exact same spot you are seeing >3400Mhz in the videos? 1733 x 2 (because it's DDR) = 3466. Depending on where you look in CPU-Z you will see both speeds listed.
No. when I look at DDR frequency it says 1733Mhz but the DB frequency says the same thing. On multiple videos i have watched while trouble shooting the DB frequency is the >3400mhz while their DDR frequency is whatever half their DDR speed is.
